How to win lane as Galio against Nautilus · 54.77% win rate over 1,121 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nautilus | Nautilus's Dredge Line + passive root chains enough CC to win the level-1 all-in. |
| Level 2 | Nautilus | At 2 his hook-into-root lets his ADC free-hit for a kill. |
| Level 3 | Nautilus | At 3 his chain CC still out-locks anything you can answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Nautilus | Through 4 his Dredge Line and Riptide keep you pinned and behind. |
| Level 6 | Galio | At 6 Hero's Entrance flashes past his hook to dive the carry, flipping the fight. |
| First item | Nautilus | With first item his Depth Charge-hook chain re-locks your engage, favouring him. |
| Two+ items | Galio | At 2+ items your AoE knock-up and W out-scale his single-target lockdown. |
Levels 1-4 are Nautilus's kingdom: Dredge Line hooks you or your ADC into a passive-root chain that his carry converts to a kill, so play back, block his hook with W Shield of Durand or a minion, and refuse to face-check brush where his Q lands for free.
